He obtained a diploma in commerce (DUT) then one in art history (DEUG) and in cinema (Licence). In 1989 he started to work at French channel TF1 where he became successively archivist, duplex coordinator for the show 'Perdu de vue' (hosted by Jacques Pradel), journalist for 'Tout est possible' and casting director for 'Super Sexy'. Then he started to work with the crew of 'La caméra indiscrète' (hosted by Nagui), produced a Coluche 20h30 special with Guy Job and a 'Tribunal des Flagrants Délires' with Jean Carmet for 'la 25ème heure'.
In 1992, Raphaël decided to auto-finance his 'Fausses Interviews' by making the first ones with ex-judoka Thierry Rey, TV journalist and host Jean-Pierre Pernaut and actor Pierre Arditi. In 1995, he convinced Patrick Sébastien to make his first steps on TV in his show "Osons", with the nickname of Hugues Delatte. Thus he continued to make fake interviews and surprised himself when he saw that he started to be a funny comedian! 9 of his interviews were shown in 'Osons'. When the show was stopped, Raphaël joined Philippe Bouvard and his 'Grosses têtes' for 4 months, before being called to work with Philippe Gildas for "Nulle part ailleurs (soir)" (on channel Canal +) in 1996, where he made about 130 fake interviews (among them an unforgettable one with André Pousse that became his masterpiece!). He also made some funny reports about what fascinates him: real people! When Gildas left the show and Guillaume Durand replaced him, Mezrahi continued to make these reports until 1998. Then he left Canal + to work with Laurent Ruquier on radio Europe 1 ('Faut pas se gêner') and on TV.
In 1999 Raphaël became the official '12th man' of the soccer team of Troyes (while they were in Division 2) by following the team for a video called 'Objectif D1'. And in 2000 he started to write his first feature movie and a 'Troyes-man show'. - Composer
